These shoes may look old and tattered to you
But I've know them since they were shiny and new
They've taken me through thick and thin
On my long, long journey to Him

The scuff marks are from a fall
When all I could do was crawl
The hole in the toe from another
Where all I could do was put one foot in front of the other

All the caked on dirt and dust
Is when I walked where He told me I must
The torn and frayed laces
Are where I held on when He let me soar to lofty places

These are a worn out pair of shoes
But they brought me the Good News
That Jesus died for my sins
And every time I look at them I am reminded again
